The Browns are getting one of their key members of the secondary back on the field.
Cleveland cornerback Denzel Ward (concussion) is set to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday. Via multiple reporters, head coach Kevin Stefanski said in his press conference that Ward has been able to participate in meetings and walk-throughs. Being a limited participant in practice is his next step in progressing through concussion protocol.
Ward suffered the head injury during Cleveland’s third preseason game against Kansas City.
A first-round pick in 2018, Ward has been a key member of the secondary ever since. But he’s never played every game in a season. A two-time Pro Bowler, Ward started 14 games last season and recorded three interceptions, 15 passes defensed, and a pair of fumble recoveries.
Cleveland’s first injury report of the season will be released later on Wednesday as the club gets ready to open the season against Cincinnati.
